Club career

Racing Santander

Born in Soto de la Marina  [ es ], Cantabria, Torre joined Racing de Santander's youth setup in 2015, from CD Marina Sport. [2] On 15 April 2020, while still a youth, he signed a professional contract with the club, until June 2025. [3] [4]

Torre made his senior debut with the reserves on 19 July 2020, starting in a 1–1 away draw against Gimnástica de Torrelavega, for the year's Tercera División promotion play-offs. [5] In August, aged only 17, he was a part of the first team squad in the pre-season under manager Javi Rozada, [6] and was definitely promoted to the main squad in September. [7]

Torre made his first team debut for Racing on 18 October 2020, starting in the opening match of the 2020–21 Segunda División B, a 1–1 home draw against Club Portugalete. [6] [8] He scored his first senior goal the following 21 February, netting his team's second in a 3–1 home win over CD Laredo; [9] six days later, he scored a brace in a 4–0 away routing of Barakaldo CF. [10]

A regular starter during his first full season as a senior, Torre was assigned the number 10 jersey ahead of the 2021–22 campaign, in the new third tier called Primera División RFEF. [11] He contributed with ten goals in 32 matches (play-offs included) as Racing achieved promotion to Segunda División.

Barcelona

On 4 March 2022, FC Barcelona reached an agreement with Racing for the transfer of Torre for a fee of €5 million plus variables, [12] and he was initially assigned to the B team for the 2022–23 season. [13] [14] He signed a contract until June 2026 on 15 June. [15]

On 7 September 2022, Torre played his first Champions League match, coming on for Franck Kessié in the 81st minute, in a 5–1 win over Viktoria Plzeň in the first match of the 2022–23 season. [16] On 23 October, Torre played his first La Liga game for Barcelona at Camp Nou, coming on for Ousmane Dembélé in the 77th minute against Athletic Bilbao. [17] On 1 November, he scored his first Champions League goal in a 4–2 away win over Viktoria Plzeň in the second leg of the same season. [18]
